On sale NOVEMBER 25 

32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED T+ 

Slade continues his “Suicide Mission”! To get at Amanda Waller, he’ll go through any super-villain that gets in his way—including Catwoman! Good thing he’s getting a little help from Harley Quinn!

A meeting with Catwoman is interesting. I don't recall too many meetings between those two in the past which is mildly odd since Slade has had dealings with many members of Batman's entourage, good and bad.

And in a brief update to a prior (August 10th) post, DC is indeed releasing a second trade paperback from the volume one material in December. It will include issues 10-13 and the first annual, as expected, but also issue #68 of the Superman series of the time.

The above book has been added to the guest-appearances page. 

“Say yer prayers varmint!”

DC Comics is preparing to reveal its November solicitations but have teased us with 25 variant covers with a Looney Tunes theme including, of course, Deathstroke.

Fun stuff! The work is by Ryan Benjamin and, of course, Warner Bros. Animation.

Though it's not at all difficult to find, I shall post the solicitation for Deathstroke's own book and/or any guest-appearances he might make in November.

August 10th updates

Continuing to list Deathstroke's publishing history, here's what was added to certain site pages earlier today:

Volume One: Issue #31, part five of the World Tour.

This was a good time to be a Deathstroke fan. If Amazon.ca can be trusted, a second compilation of the first volume will be released at the end of the year collecting issues 10-13 and the first annual (which featured one of my favourite cover all-time, at right). If plans are to continue doing so, no doubt the World Tour will be included as it was a fun, self-contained story within the series. It's very accessible to current readers.

Volume Three: Issue #8, part of the Godkiller story line, released July 22nd.

Guest-Appearances: Forever Evil: A.R.G.U.S. issues one and two.

Deathstroke's contribution to these two books is rather brief, but at least his background with Steve Trevor is recognized. Trevor appeared in the last two issues of Team Seven as a member of that group. He crossed paths with Deathstroke as a result, but I don't recall a specific cause for the animosity that Slade shows towards Trevor in  A.R.G.U.S. Mind you, in light of how the entire Team Seven project all went to pot, Slade might just want to put a bullet in anything that reminds him of it.

The page for Volume Two is pretty well done aside from minor corrections and details, and Volume Three gets updated more or less as books are released.  As the page for Volume One continues to fill up, as well as the guest-appearances page and the one dedicated to Rose Wilson, then new ones will be created to cover Deathstroke's appearances in the digital books dedicated to the Arkham series of video games and to the Arrow TV show. Looking forward to that, actually, because much of that material will be new to me.
